If 888 is going to keep doing the super turbo format they really need to do something about the first hand sitters.
Blinds start at 25/50 and with the sitters automatically using their whole clock on the first hand by the time I was dealt my second hand blinds were already 100/200 in the $500 Pharaoh game just now and in a game a couple of days ago blinds were 200/400 on the second hand.
We already have such a small window to try and see flops before it becomes a shove fest that it sucks to not even have that window.
Maybe make it so a players clock isn't available until a player has played 1 hand (not sitting out).
I'm also curious about something, I went out in the top 3000 in the last Pharaoh, but late registration wasn't over yet and I was instantly given my $2k ticket. In this case it wasn't really close, I was around 2350th, but suppose I went out in 2950th while late registration was still running and 200 more people entered after I went out before registration closed. Technically I would then have finished 3150th, but I'd have already been awarded a ticket.
